One of the main criticism I see on reddit and other forums about Dan Clark headphone is that while they are tonally great they are somewhat lacking in dynamics/impact/slam. Did you get any feeling of that on this headphone? This complaint is mainly targeted at the older ether/aeon though so...

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this headphone yet but I would like to see how the Borealis headphone performs on Amir's test bench. This headphone was very polarizing when it came out. People saying it was a rip off because of the parts/materials being used in the build while costing $900...

There was an interesting short video from InnerFidelity about these headphones, and the whole philosophy behind designing them. I don't know if what was said holds any merit though.

Is there anyway you can get your hands on a AKG K7XX? Generally the K7XX bass extends a bit better than the HD6X0 and have a wider soundstage, but is not as even/smooth as the HD6X0.

Wait is this the HE-400 or HE-400i? The original 400 sounds a lot different than the 400i, much more impact in the bass but kinda funky from the mids-treble.

Have you ever measured a 6XX? And does it hold the same tolerance?

There's always the good ole Sennheiser HD280 Pro, which claims "up to 32 dB attenuation of outside sound" But I've never personally test/heard them. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD280PRO-Headphones-old-model/dp/B00IT0IHOY?th=1

Is the volume knob digital? If not then there should be some obvious marking on the knob for position.

Amir actually measured it a while ago https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-xduoo-ta-01-and-schiit-fulla-v2-dac-and-headphone-amp.3105/

I agree with the headphone part, I usually just lurk SBAF with no account. I feel they're usually pretty spot on with the subjective descriptions headphone (except maybe any treble that's not from HD600/650 being murderous). They know exactly what kind of sound signature they like and can pick...

Looks like they are merging the FiiO E10k and the Q1 MkII together. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fiio-k3-previously-called-e30-preview-tour-starts-now-the-all-new-desktop-dac-amplifier.889473/ The DAC probably got some improvements and now has DSD support and USB-C. Shame that single-ended...

Yet another TI TPA6120A2 based amplifier, so it probably has an output impedance of 10 ohms. Not bad for the price actually for the amount of I/O and functionality, plus the variable preamp for powered monitors.

From the announcement "Modi 3 replaces both Modi 2 and Modi 2 Uber, at $99. It is available for purchase now at schiit.com "

http://www.schiit.com/products/modi-1 The most interesting part is that they posted measurement results using a APx555. http://www.schiit.com/public/upload/PDF/Schiit%20DAC%20APx555%20Standard%20Test%20Suite_%20Modi%203.pdf Obviously would be great to see if Amir can confirm those...

ATH-M30X, sounded alright for the price, gave to my sister. NVX XPT100, decent sound-stage for closed, kinda shouty. Modded it to reduce shout and deepened the bass and currently using it at work. VE Monk, probably my favorite to wear and just forget about, sounds ok. Hifiman 400i (No...
